Fortunately, the only duties of the board are to fulfill our "being a nonprofit" requirements, so you deciding you think they<br>
aren't illegitimate has exactly ZERO effect on anything going on at Noisebridge.<br>

Jake, last night the gate had no power and when power was restored (temporarily by JC with his bare hands), codes were not<br>
being acknowledged. Hacker Casey fixed that by restoring the 8 bit hardware thing's connection to the computer and plans<br>
were discussed to run a new cable. Many have spent time with a plunger over the toilet. Independent declogging efforts have<br>
run their course, maybe we should hire a plumber?<br>
<br>
I like to make a distinction between policy makers and culture makers. Consensus cannot dictate culture at Noisebridge.<br>
Culture is made by everyone in the space all the time.<br>
<br>
That said, I still hear you do not acknowledge the bod election. What's the board do anyway?<br>
<br>
